Bluetongue virus has a ten-segment double-stranded RNA genome, of which segment 8 encodes a nonstructural protein NS2. This protein is the only bluetongue viral protein to be phosphorylated and also has the ability to bind single-stranded RNA. At present, the function of NS2 is unknown and in order to analyse its characteristics in more detail, it was first necessary to obtain a full-length cDNA clone of the genome segment.
蓝舌病毒具有一个由十个片段组成的双链RNA基因组，其中第8片段编码一种非结构蛋白NS2。这种蛋白是蓝舌病毒中唯一能被磷酸化的蛋白，并且还具有结合单链RNA的能力。目前，NS2的功能尚不清楚，为了更详细地分析其特性，首先需要获得该基因组片段的全长cDNA克隆。
